Enable Training and Consulting, Inc. has generously donated a Nintendo Wii:

What's a Nintendo Wii? Are you insane?!? Have you been living under a rock? Wikipedia says: The Wii (pronounced as the English pronoun we) is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. The console is the direct successor to the Nintendo GameCube. It competes with both as part of the seventh generation of video game systems. A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions.

But it's so much more than that! Nintendo's site says: To truly understand how Wii revolutionizes gaming, you have to try it for yourself. Quite simply, Wii is for everyone. The ease of use and interactivity of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk allows for a unique social gaming experience for the whole family. You don't just play Wii, you experience it.

...and frankly - I agree

Thanks Enable Training and Consulting, Inc. :thumbup:
